RE: Trade Report
Greetings, All:
Yesterday I ran robotic parts to the Hood and then attempted a run of gold to Ft. Bush. I had made it all the way to Manhattan when I was pounced upon by three Xenos. Being a bit rusty, my diplomatic skills failed me and I foolishly fired the first shot. While I held my own for a time, they eventually overcame, ignoring my plea to desist. The ship was destroyed, though my crew and I escaped unharmed.
Not to be deterred, I ran gold again today from the Hood and successfully made it to Ft. Bush without incident, despite a Hacker who was ill-equipped to deal with me and a couple of other traders alongside. I am not on Manhattan for the day meeting with a couple of business associates. I hope to return to Bretonia with neon either this evening or tomorrow.
